AI Collaboration

Connect an agent to the web app and watch it write alongside you — live, in the same note.

The web app treats your AI assistant as a real collaborator — you can watch it write, and steer it, in the same note you're editing. It's the same shared memory your agents reach over MCP, with a front-row seat.


Connect an agent

Click Connect Agent in the editor to start or resume an agent session for the workspace. When an agent is connected, the button shows its live status (for example, "Claude live").

Work on a selection

Select text in the editor and it appears in the agent pane, where you can send a request about it — a rewrite, a summary, or a next step. The agent's changes stream into the note as it works.

The agent pane

The agent pane shows the session: what the agent is working on, its progress, and a place to steer it ("Ask for a rewrite, summary, or next step…"). Updates flow into the note in real time, so you can follow along while it writes.

Send a note to any agent

Every note has a stable link your agents can use: open the menu and choose Copy link for your agent, then paste it into any connected AI tool — "add a summary section to this note" — and watch the change land live.

See what your agents did

Agent writes over MCP appear in the Activity view alongside your teammates' edits — with direct links to the affected notes. On a team, everyone's agents share the same knowledge base; see Basic Memory Teams.


The loop in practice

  1. AI creates detailed notes during conversations — or writes alongside you with Connect Agent
  2. You browse and refine in the web app
  3. AI references your refined notes in future conversations

Each cycle makes your AI better at answering from your actual knowledge.
